Facebook-owned WhatsApp has filed a lawsuit against Israeli mobile surveillance firm NSO Group. The company says it has evidence of NSO’s direct involvement in the recent attacks against WhatsApp users. Facebook says NSO violated WhatsApp’s terms of services by using its servers to spread the spyware to approximately 1,400 mobile devices during an attack in April and May this year. The targeted users include attorneys, journalists, human rights activists, political dissidents, diplomats, and other senior foreign government officials, with WhatsApp numbers from different codes.
